Here are a few entertainment ideas to help you beat the heat this weekend:

"Star Trek": A look at how the crew of the Enterprise came together. Chris Pine and Leonard Nimoy star. Director J.J. Abrams accomplished what many thought was impossible: He created a tribute to the past while bringing the franchise into the future.

The film boldly goes where so many fans have gone before while still giving them a film that explores great performances and seeks out head-spinning special effects.

And, the movie is at the UA Clovis Towne Center 8. So tickets are only $3.

"The Ugly Truth": At times, the new helium-light romantic comedy wants to be a broad, bawdy comedy. Then it tries to be the kind of romance story you want your parents to see. Too much indecision by director Robert Luketic has the film fighting itself from beginning to end.

But, this new feature film is a perfect date movie. That's because even during the boring parts you can either stare at Katherine Heigl or Gerard Butler.

"Watchmen": The film has just been released on DVD. It is worth your time because it is about superheroes who try to deal with their emotional, mental and social problems while stopping a mysterious killer.

Director Zack Snyder has made a visually stunning take on the much-heralded 12-edition graphic comic book novel.

"The Storm," 9 p.m. Sunday and Aug. 2, KSEE (Channel 24) - There have been killer twisters in TV films. Snow storms have caused deaths on cable shows. Earthquakes and volcanoes have created havoc in theatrical releases.

After all that on-screen death and destruction, producers may be running out of natural disaster ideas. This two-night mini-series puts the world in danger from a killer storm when an experiment to control the weather goes horribly bad.

Oooooh. I'm so scared. If it doesn't stop soon, every weatherman in the world will collapse from lack of sleep. Think of the terror as men, women and pets get wet. They must live with the scars of having stepped in countless puddles. Heaven help us! All of the umbrellas are turning inside out!

There is so little tension in the first night of "The Storm," a government conspiracy plot has been dropped with a thud into the story. It doesn't help. It also doesn't help star James Van Der Beek is the blandest actor on the planet.

The only thing "The Storm" has going for it is the willingness to kill anyone in the cast. Those who get an early on-screen death are the lucky ones. They don't have to hang around for next week's Part 2.
